This Privacy Policy explains how Calm Colors handles (or more accurately, doesn't handle) your information. By using our app, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
2. Information We DO NOT Collect
Calm Colors is designed with privacy at its core. We do NOT collect, transmit, or store:
- Personal Information: No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or contact details

3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
The app stores minimal data locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device and includes:

| Games played count | Display milestone achievements | β No |
| PRO unlock status | Remember if you've purchased PRO | β No |

Important: If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is automatically deleted by Android. We cannot recover it because we never had access to it.

We do NOT have access to your payment information. Google's privacy policy governs purchase data: https://policies.google.com/privacy

- Cannot identify you personally
- Is stored only on your device
